All Pokémon Go Simply Groundbreaking Timed Research tasks and rewards

A new event is taking place in Pokémon Go, with the Simply Groundbreaking event introducing a new Dynamax Pokémon into the game alongside new tasks and rewards, plus increased spawn chances for various Pokémon.

Although not as big as other recent events in Pokémon Go, which included Gigantamax Gengar and a host of other Halloween treats, the Simply Groundbreaking event provides a chance to extend your collection of Dynamax Pokémon—and potentially add to your Pokédex along the way.
